How to make the best lens choice? |
It will depend of the 3 following key elements:
the effect
the image size
the viewing distance
sheets with a pitch higher than 62 LPI are NOT recommended for inkjet printing !
for flip – A4 to poster size – short viewing distance: 50 LPI-M 54° –Motion HD
for 3D & flip – medium to large format – viewing distance >1m : 40 LPI 49° Very Large Format
for 3D or “fast” flip up to A4 size – short viewing distance (handheld): the 60 LPI APET 39°
for 3D – A4 to poster size – short viewing distance <1m : 3D-50LPI 41°
for 3D – medium format – medium viewing distance: 3D 28 LPI 37° PETG-MF viewing distance +/- 1.5 m
for 3D – large format – long viewing distance: 3D 20 LPI 37° PETG-LF viewing distance +/- 2 m
for Motion pictures – medium to large format: Motion 20 LPI 54° PETG-LF viewing distance +/- 2 m
If you’d like to compare, you can order a a small quantity from different products just clicking here.
If you are using a flatbed printer, (because of the dot volume), we would not recommend more than 50 LPI for optimal quality.
The names ‘3D’ or ‘Motion’ refer to the most common use of the product depending on the viewing angle. Nothing prevents printing flip on a sheet called “3D” or a relief on a sheet called “Motion”.
